Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
It is beyond any doubt that chemistry has provided countless products, improving the quality of human life in all areas. Unfortunately, some of the products have proven difficult to dispose of due to being non-biodegradable or toxic. Recently, much care has been taken to ensure that chemical products are safe for humans. According to one of the approaches, the cosmetic/pharmaceutical products used should be based on natural raw materials. With the use of physical, chemical and biochemical processes, these raw materials can be transformed into intermediates that are later used to produce high-value chemicals, polymers, lubricants, solvents or surfactants, and special products, which, until now, have been obtained using fossil fuels.
